Photos of "The Mild One" with my Burgman 650 scooter

You can sort of see the resemblance.

If you're near-sighted. Squint real hard. Use your imagination. Isn't it obvious... how Marlon Brando and me are so similar, posing with our "bikes"?

The Wild One.

The Mild One.

Maybe I would have looked more Brando'ish if Jim, a friend, hadn't taken my photo in the parking lot adjacent to the West Salem Starbucks, the wild mild scene of our Sunday morning caffeine-fueled get-together.

But adding a helmet, dark glasses, and a jaunty wave adds to my macho cool'ness, in my decidedly nonobjective opinion. Also, obscuring my facial features makes me look a lot more like Marlon Brando, wouldn't you say?

(For real cool, the Corvette in the background beats me out, big-time.)

Heh, looks like those guys in the Corvette are posing for the photo. Anyway, perhaps a nice hat to pose in would bring out your inner Marlon Brando? The dark glasses look pretty snazzy on you, too.
